"Trabajando para mejorar a La comunidad Hispana"
Working to improve the Hispanic community

The National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN), Valle del Sol Chapter is committed to the recruitment and retention of Hispanics into the nursing profession.  We are a national non-profit organization made up of more than 30 chapters nationwide.  The Valle del Sol Chapter is the local Phoenix chapter, composed of dedicated, professional nurses who strive to promote the nursing and healthcare delivery needs of our community.  Our mission is accomplished by participating in education in-services to the NAHN membership, mentoring nursing students and providing educational scholarships.

We are excited and enthusiastic about this years upcoming events.  The start of a new calendar year always brings with it excitement and enthusiasm for what awaits us.  This year activities and events promise to engage us  both socially and intellectually. 

The most tangible sign of vibrancy within any organization is growth.  Based on the overwhelming support from our sponsors and fundraising efforts, this year, the Valle del Sol chapter increased the number of scholarships awarded yearly.  Valle del Sol has awarded over $30,000 thus far in scholarships.  Our scholarships have helped students realize their goals of higher education and contributed to increasing the number of Hispanic nurses in this area.

We are eager to welcome back past members and recruit new ones. 
We look forward to welcoming you.

With Best Personal Regards,

Anabell Castro, RN, MSN, NP-C

The Ad Hoc Committee of Spanish Speaking/Spanish-Surnamed Nurses Caucus was formed during the American Nurses Association Convention in San Francisco June 1, 1974.  The Organization was officially named the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, Inc. (NAHN) in 1979.  Several individual chapters have been developed since then.  In 1990, The Valle del Sol Chapter was established by three Hispanic nurses.  Today, the chapter's leaders and members continue to uphold the mission, vision, and the ongoing success of NAHN.  We are a national non-profit organization committed to enhancing the Hispanic community through participation in local health fairs, recruitment and mentoring of Hispanic nurses and students, and providing scholarships to nursing students.  Together, the chapter has increased the visibility of Hispanic nurses in Arizona and our mission is being heard.  Valle del Sol is your local Phoenix chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses.  We are a growing group of professional nurses who strive to improve the health of our Hispanic communities, and the advancement of Arizona's Hispanic nurses.  We extend our warmest invitation to come join us at our monthly meetings to learn how you too can challenge yourself and make a difference in our Hispanic community.
